How to make bootable pendrive for ubuntu installation

Hello Everyone !

Today, I would like to share a very basic thing. It's nothing but the process making the pen drive bootable for the ubuntu installation. Gone are the days, when we used to rely upon CD/DVD for any kind of installation. Now, we can use even our pen drive for the installation of an operating systems. Well, if we want to install any operating using the pen drive, Then the very first thing we need to do is to make the pen drive bootable. Aahh...Bootable ?? What’s that ?? Okay, Let’s understand this term closely.

In a layman term, Booting is nothing but the process of starting a system. It means, the moment we press start/power button on our Laptop or Desktop till the system reach to it’s desktop. The whole process involved in between is known as the Booting. The time it takes to accomplish all this, is known as the booting time. Now let’s see how can we make a pen drive bootable, so that we can install the ubuntu using that bootable pendrive. Before proceeding to this step, make sure you have downloaded the ISO(disc image) file of the ubuntu operating system.

Search for “startup disk creator” in your dashboard by typing startup. 



Then open that startup disk creator utility and locate your image file over there by clicking the "Other..." Button. 



Once it’s done, click on Make Startup Disk. That’s it. Now you have the bootable pen drive ready for the installation.
